USC’s administration is
attempting to keep up with the
student demand for sustainable food.
Administrators intend to
implement programs to reduce
USC’s dependence on long-distance
food suppliers and improve the
university’s green food practices,
such as committing to buying local
California dairy and produce.
“A lot of students are focused on
the issue of sustainability. The big
thing right now is creating awareness
and then creating a process to follow
up on this enthusiasm,” said Kris
Klinger, director of USC Hospitality.
USC Hospitality, which is in
charge of purchasing and managing
the food at the different eateries
on the university’s campuses, has
adopted a number of new programs
in recent years to keep the university
moving toward a greener future and
to address the growing concern of
students.
“I don’t feel like food is extremely
fresh on campus, especially at the
dining halls,” said Sarah Sensenbach,
a sophomore majoring in psychology.
“They could improve food options
even at the Campus Center to make
them more healthy and greener.”
The trayless dining initiative,
started in the fall of 2008, has
been one of the more successful
sustainability programs. According
to Klinger, the program has already
reduced food waste 20 to 30 percent.
By going trayless, USC has also cut
down the number of dishes and trays
that need to be washed.
Additionally, since 2009, there
has been a large movement at USC to
donate foods like produce and other
perishable items to the Los Angeles
Mission, while non-perishables are
kept refrigerated or frozen. Both of

USC Hospitality plans to use
only dairy made in California
and to serve cage-free eggs.

Student loan debt surpassed
credit card debt for the first time
last year, according to a report
by Mark Kantrowitz, publisher
of FinAid.org and Fastweb.com,
websites that help students find
ways to pay for college.
Kantrowitz compiled the
overall estimate of current student
federal and private loan debt,
which is likely to top $1 trillion
this year as students continue
to borrow more money for their
education.
The current credit card debt
is $826.5 billion, while the
student loan debt is $830 billion,
according to the report.
USC ranks seventh in the nation
for average student debt, with the
average graduate having to repay
a debt of $36,787, according to
a CNBC study released earlier
this year. Nationally, last year’s
Student loan
debt exceeds
credit debts
